The Bottom Line
As long as it is properly fitted, the EPG works for almost any recreational water activity. It is not the best option for all lap swimmers as it limits head movement in certain directions, but it does work. I tried it for an extended workout and I did not feel any water in my ears the entire time I was in the pool.
